World War II Naval Spotter Playing Cards USGS

These decks were originally intended to educate people in time of war, so that those in combat would learn to be familiar with enemy and friendly ships by their shapes alone, and playing card games with each other would help them master this. These cards feature silhouettes of U.S. and foreign warships from the 1940s–1960s, much like the Airline Spotter deck identified 52 different aircraft using detailed silhouettes from three different angles (front view, side view, and a view of the bottom of the aircraft, as it would be seen by a ground observer). The Naval Spotter decks just have a single silhouette, but also include information about each ship. I only wish these were printed by USPCC with a higher quality finish, rather than the smooth and slippery cards printed by USGS.
